Slackware64-Current (15.0): mini-ITX Benchmarks Part 1

Posted on Dec 22, 2019 by kingbeowulf



Here are some initial Phoronix-test-suite benchmarks for the miniITX Rysen 7 with various GPUs I had on hand. For Nvidia, we used the their proprietary driver; for AMD, the open source radeon and amdgpu drivers provided in Slackware64-current kernel 5.4.2, 5.4.3, 5.4.5 (nvidia, radeon, amdgpu, resprctively - Slackware updates were fast and furious this week!).

The CPU cooler is a low profile SilverStone SST-KR01 so that the power supply would fit. Power is provided via a Rosewill HIVE 650S 650W ATX power supply. The Nvidia EVGA GTX 950 is an ITX form factor GPU; and thus, the results are with the case closed. The 2 radeon GPUs are huge and are attached via a PCI-E riser with the case open.
Phoronix Test Suite from Slackbuilds.org; stock KDE4; system and tests use default settings. For the RX590, the "HIGH" run references setting the GPU power management to "high" from the default of "auto".

So far am quite pleased and can't wait to get my hands on a Vega or NAVI series GPU, and of course Slackware 15.0 "real soon now."
